Would St Valentine be up for role reversal?
I think my husband started a new Valentine's tradition yesterday. He made me a delicious dinner, not even letting me in the kitchen while he was cooking it. So now I'm thinking role reversal makes a great Valentine's gift. I'm not saying we have to celebrate Valentine's every year (it is a bit of a sham), but every so often, whether it's February 14th or not, a little pampering, overt spousal attention and role reversal can go a long way. Perhaps this one felt so special because in our sixteen or so years together, we haven't done much about Valentine's Day, especially not last year. It marks a renewal, it felt like last night – in a low-key, no-pressure, lovely sort of way. So I'm grateful to my husband for a wonderful, creative Valentine's and I'm recommending that others try a role reversal afternoon or evening, however long and elaborate you want to make it. I got an appreciation for how nice it is to sit on the couch while dinner is being made; my husband might have more of an appreciation for the effort it takes to shop, then create a beautiful meal while working a full day.
